As part of Meath Local Sports Partnership’s commitment to increasing sport and physical activity for YOUNG PEOPLE in Meath, we are currently conducting a youth survey to gauge young people’s interest in sport.

Meath LSP would like to understand how often you engage in sport and physical activity and the types of activities you would like to see available to people your age!

This information will help us develop more opportunities for young people in Meath and make physical activity part of your lifestyle.  If you are aged between 12-17yrs, we would be grateful if you would complete the following survey which will take no more than 5 mins.

 If you complete this survey you will be entered into a draw to win a €50 JD Sports Voucher!
